Estranged Notions: Strange Notions is the #4 Ranked Atheist Blog on the Internet! (not)
This went up yesterday and I missed it:
Strange Notions is the #4 Ranked Atheist Blog on the Internet!
“Feedspot” seems to be a typical feed-reader site that also posts a regular stream of “Top <N> <subject> blogs” articles, all from the same template and quite possibly automatically generated. Their “Top 30 Atheist Blogs” post, which actually contains 32 entries, lists SN at #4 (after Friendly Atheist, r/atheism, and Atheist Revolution); Brandon seems to think that this means something. The meaninglessness of the list, though, is clearly demonstrated by the fact that the #7 entry confuses the blogging network “The Orbit” with Greta Christina's blog which is merely one of the blogs hosted there; #14 is Randal Rauser's blog (even less of an atheist blog than SN is); #16 is “Atheists are Idiots”, a deranged rad-trad Catholic; #18 is “Atheism Analyzed”, another deranged anti-atheist (and evolution denier); and #21 is “Atheistwatch”, one of Joe Hinman's blogs (Joe is resident theist gadfly at the Secular Outpost).
So congratulations, Brandon, you have been given an award by… a purveyor of meaningless awards.

Estranged Notions: Why Sean Carroll’s “The Big Picture” Is Too Small
Today's post:
Why Sean Carroll’s “The Big Picture” Is Too Small
Vogt has been promising us his review of Carroll's book for some weeks now, but this is merely an ‘introduction’ to the review; nothing of substance here. The closest Vogt gets to that is the usual knee-jerk criticism of reductionism.

Estranged Notions: Philosophy in the Eyes of Theologians: Friend or Foe? (Part 2 of 3)
Today's post:
Philosophy in the Eyes of Theologians: Friend or Foe? (Part 2 of 3)
Of course one has to wonder: what about any philosophers in the medieval period whose logic led them to conclusions not entirely compatible with Catholic orthodoxy?

Estranged Notions: The Myth of the War Between Science and Religion
Today's post:
The Myth of the War Between Science and Religion
Barron has literally nothing to say about the supposed topic of this article; all he can manage is to repeat the vacuous talking points (“look at all these (historical) scientists who were religious!”, “it's no accident that science appeared in Christian Europe!”, etc.) that we've seen before.

Estranged Notions: Why Your Life Does Not Belong to You
Yesterday's post:
Why Your Life Does Not Belong to You
The most obvious issue with this post is that it makes no attempt whatsoever to actually answer the question implied by the title.

Estranged Notions: 5 Objections to Proving God’s Existence
Today's (half-) post:
5 Objections to Proving God’s Existence
Only half a post, because it sets out some objections without actually making any comment on them—this is left for the next post.
